DVD Review of “Holy Shit… Zombies”

DVD Review of “Holy Shit… Zombies”
By Tim Gross

Yes, it is here!!! The official sequel to a movie in my opinion is one of DSK’s best efforts, “Toxic Shock Zombies”. Rick Fusselman, the director of “Toxic Shock Zombies” has the story pick up in “Holy Shit… Zombies” sometime after the aftermath of the first film. The president of “Zampons” does a commercial or campaign ad proving that “Zampons” was not the cause of the zombie outbreak. And to prove it he sticks one in his ass and of course coughs up blood and so on… The movie not only extends the fun of the first film but goes to even more grotesque and entertaining lengths to top the first film and make a fun low budget zombie sequel. The sequel has all the usual actors and actresses from past DSK films including the famous ‘ACE’! This film is for all horror fans that love humor in their zombie films as the film has: a Dusty Rhodes imitation, titty slapping, gore, redneck hunters who think the zombies are “cannibal deer”, more gore, fake sledgehammer, fake vagina, a zombie dragging a fetus, bad Avon salesmen, even more over the top gore, a guy putting a “Zampon” in his ass, lots of talk about ball sacks, bad redneck humor, and zombies that seem to come out of nowhere! I give the film 4 stars as this film is one of the most entertaining independent films of 2007. If that doesn’t interest you, it is a 2 –disc set with lots extras like: Blooper Reel, FX Tutorial, cast interviews, fan interviews, fun DSK trailers, and did I mention the multi-titty slap in the blooper reel which is worth the money alone!

Gross Movie Reviews #107
By Tim Gross

I had these written on Sunday but since I’ve been such a busy ass dude this week it took me a few days…

Flesh Eater (DVD) – A late 80s horror film that has the legendary Bill Hinzman directing, editing, producing, writing, and starring in this B-movie about a flesh eating ghoul that has been disturbed on Halloween deep in the woods and he is hungry! It’s a horrible low budget romp that should only be watched by the die hard “Hinzman” fans. I give the DVD 2 stars.

Burial Ground: The Nights of Terror (DVD) – Another early ‘eye-talian’ 80s zombie flick that has a professor inspecting a tomb under a mansion and does not understand until its too late that he has disturbed the tomb and its “ugly oatmeal faced zombie time”! Your usual zombie fare: gore, nudity, the zombies keep coming by the hundreds. But what separates this usual zombie flick from the rest is its subplot of incest between a teenage boy and his mother. This shit gets twisted as the boy at the time of crisis begins to make out with mom and cop a feel on mother’s naked titty! Not the greatest zombie film but the subplot of incest makes this film worth the rent, the buy, whatever as long as you get to watch cinematic history! I give the DVD 2 ½ stars.

Zombie Holocaust (DVD/Theater) – An early 80s zombie film that is mostly known under its other name, “Dr. Butcher M.D.”. For the most part the film sucks ass as it takes forever to get to the good parts which is about a mad scientist experimenting on some island people and turning them into flesh eating zombies. Once it gets to the good parts it is pretty much the end of the movie as everybody dies quick and horrible deaths along with the zombies being killed quickly also by fire and bullets. The movie feels like it is three hours long but runs barely at 90 minutes but the climax makes the film worth keeping yourself awake for! I give the movie 2 ½ stars.

Pathfinder (DVD) – The movie stars the rising movie star in my opinion, “Karl Urban”. He has starred in “Doom” and the “Lord of the Rings” films. This time around Urban stars as a lone white Indian from a foreign land taken in as a child when he was found among the wreckage of a Viking ship on the northern part of North America. 15 years pass as he is still trying to find his place in the tribe that has taken him in. The Vikings land again on North America hellbent on erasing the land of Indians. What the Vikings don’t know is Karl Urban is here to protect what he considers his people by any means necessary. The fight scenes are just unbelievable! No, “300” computer animation here, not to say the film went the way of no CGI but the fight scenes were mostly live action with most of the film. Vikings cutting off fingers for necklaces, arms being hacked off in mid-fight by axes, Indians being tortured horribly, and more as this film is not for the weak of heart as the film shows how bloodthirsty the Vikings are. This film has greatly been overlooked in 2007 and deserves a watch as I give it 4 stars.

Scream Greats Volume One: Tom Savini, Master of Effects (VHS) – It has been said this documentary film has been released on DVD but I never found a legit release yet. I just still have my worn VHS copy that I thought is worth the find for any kind of Savini fan! It’s a 50 minute documentary and behind-the-scenes film about Tom Savini and his work up until the mid to late 80s. This film is perfect for not only Savini fans but those of you who consider themselves filmmakers as he talks a lot about what he did, used, and how to shoot the scenes on movie sets such as “The Prowler, Friday the 13th, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, etc.” The documentary is a great time capsule of what a lot of horror fans who grew up during the slasher age already knew. I give the movie 4 stars.

Ben 10: Race Against Time (Cartoon Network) – This review is for my daughter as I told her I would write one for it! It is the live action film of the popular Saturday morning cartoon series about a kid who gets a watch that is able to turn him into ten different aliens by mistake and uses it to fight off evil around the world or in the nearest mall. The series has actually been a surprise to me because of a lot crap that has made recently for Saturday mornings. The film was directed and executive produced by Alex “Freaked” Winter and starred Lee Majors as Grandpa who helps Ben and his alien beings fight off evil. It’s a fun and different concept cartoon and now live action movie worth watching as I give the movie 3 stars.

Unmasked Part 25 (VHS) – A film from 1990 and made in England that spoofs a lot of the American 80s slasher films. A killer who goes around from building to building killing people because he is deformed and unloved has met his match in a lovely blind woman who thinks he was her ‘blind date’. Bad at times to watch but a fun bad as the film shows how the killer struggles with his relationship to the woman and tries not to kill anymore! I give the movie 2 ½ stars.

Horror Express (DVD) – A oldie but goodie horror film about film legend Christopher Lee who plays an English anthropologist who brings what he thought was a frozen creature on board a train. Peter Cushing who is also in the movie is determined to see the creature until the creature awakens on the train and begins to kill everyone one by one. Also look for TV legend Telly Savalas, who plays an inspector trying to figure out who or what is killing everyone on the train. The movie plays out like Carpenter’s “The Thing” with the frozen creature and with TV and film legends starring in it. The film is one that should be passed by at the video store as I give the movie 3 stars.

Opera (DVD) – A Dario Argento film that plays out like the “Phantom of the Opera” for the first half of the film and then goes off into its own direction like most of Argento’s work. I give the DVD 2 ½ stars.

Déjà Vu (DVD) – Denezell Washington plays an ATF agent trying to investigate a bombing of a ferry in New Orleans. Washington’s character is baffled by the reasons why the person behind it did the bombing until he is approached by some other agents who are working on a new top secret government experiment. The agents show Washington that they are able to go back 4 days and 6 hours into the past from whatever time it is now. Washington eventually believes everyone can be saved if they try hard enough to do it. It’s a great mainstream sci-fi action film that I thought was overlooked for what it really is and that being a really cool sci-fi flick! I give it 3 stars.
